Hombre soy, por qué nací en la tierra? Dónde está mi mortaja? Ésta es la muerte? the night of a thousand and one nights the shadow of a thousand shadows and a heartbeat, the water of a thousand waters falling, fire uncovering funnels, ashes dressed up like Medusa, the Earth's lamentation. I am a man. Why was I born to earth? Where is the shroud? Is this death?  less

In May, 2013, composer Ola Gjeilo spent 3 days on the Central Washington University Campus, joining the choir in recording 4 of his pieces. This performance of Gjeilo's "Sanctus" is from that session. the other pieces were "Luminous Night of the Soul", & "Across the Vast, Eternal Sky", accompanied by the composer at the piano and joined by the Kairos Quartet -- the resident faculty string quartet at CWU. the final piece, "Ubi Caritas II: Through Infinite Ages", was recorded both in an unaccompanied rendition (how it is written and published) and in a version with Mr. Gjeilo improvising an accompaniment to the choir. This was Ola's second time on CWU's campus. His first visit was in the spring of 2011 and yielded 5 videos, a wide-ranging interview with the composer and other bonus material. It resulted in a DVD entitled "In the Moment", available for purchase at http://goo.gl/Xld0o) ...    less

Swan. Foreward: Santiago Veros wrote Almas de Barro at the age of 19, dedicating it to a young woman who at the time was shy and with whom he rarely talked. This piece intimately describes the moments during music theory classes when the two would look at each other continuously, youthfully, and silently, as if unable to do anything else. the piece, written as a counterpoint assignment, was intended to be performed during music theory class as a declaration of love. the idea was to make a musical representation of those moments. the piece begins without words, the voices representing youthful looks. they come together and occasionally dodge each other to highlight the discomfort ...    less
